I love the convenience of grocery pickup, but at least once a month I pop into Ingles (grocery chain) at 8:00 AM and shop their marked down meat - those "meat manager specials" for things that are nearing their best by date. Recently I've purchased pork chops and a whole chicken for $.99/pound! I can… Continue reading Menu Monday + How I’m Saving Money on Meat {7.11.22}

Menu Monday + Monster Cookies {6.6.22}
I pulled out my recipe binder last week and spent some time updating it. I had quite a few recipes I'd torn out of Southern Living and Taste of Home magazines that needed to be organized into the pages. In the process, I came across a hand-written recipe card for my mom's Monster Cookies -… Continue reading Menu Monday + Monster Cookies {6.6.22}
Menu Monday + Summer Fun In The Kitchen {5.16.22}

A Meal To Take To Others: Spanish Style Pork Bowls
I love the idea of “intentional kitchening” – where you use food from your kitchen to love and serve others who need a little extra love and care. We think of this most often when someone has a new baby or when the person who does the cooking is off their feet due to surgery or sickness.

I'm thankful for the busy season and the blessings that come with it!… Continue reading Menu Monday {4.18.22}
Menu Monday + Different Things {4.4.22}
This menu is a little different from the usual, for a couple reasons. Right now Paul is in a busy season of officiating college lacrosse, so we don't eat supper together every night. Because of that, I usually just make salads to go with the main dish and plan for a couple nights of leftovers… Continue reading Menu Monday + Different Things {4.4.22}
